1) I don't have any wifi issues

2) I don't have any notification light issue

3) Almost effortless to flash one of the safe kernels out there

I haven't had any mms issues or LoS, as some people are reporting either.

I would add this as a potential #4 for you... the ONLY problem I'm having with ICS is the battery life. Its about half of what I got on GB (blazer v4.1). I had a very similar experience when I first got the phone since day one on EG30. The phone idles well, about the same % per hour as GB, but once I start doing anything on my phone, whether it be texting, few phone calls, checking mail... the battery starts to drain rather quickly. Sometimes it gets hot as well during light use. Betterbatterystats doesn't reveal anything out of the ordinary. The only thing that automatically syncs is my calendar and the stock weather widget every 6 hours. I flashed agats 0.2.1 kernel today and will try out the smartassv2 gov to see if helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oldpreowner:
Be sure and report back on agats kernel and smartassv2 gov. I might try as well if you get some good benefits. Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
I'm pretty sure it has to be an WiFi bug killing our battery I used to get 20 plus hours on GB with WiFi on. Yesterday on PH running smartassV2 went all day great battery when I got home turned on WiFi I was at 37 % and 1 and a half hours later I was at 6 %. Crazy I may run no WiFi today to see how it does.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
There is an app in the market called Llama that has some great features and may help increase battery life for ICS. ITs Tasker and Juice Defender all in one but with a much better UI Interface and its free.

Try it out and you extend your wifi scan time more than any other app I have seen..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 5FOOTER:
Its not the scan I use the hell out of my phone at home WiFi stays on (always) in settings. Its just having WiFi on it uses more battery than GB did no change on phone same apps same everything but ics
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Custodian:
Im sure this is where I found that extended power menu...can someone post it?

That's all the lovely mods tdunham has created/tweaked for Blazer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SSaxman:
Soooo...my notification light decided to start working today. It's working for email and sms; I haven't had a chance to verify for other apps yet (Gmail, Facebook, etc). I can't explain it. I didn't flash or change anything; it just started working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
I'll try that as well. I'm on wifi at home and at work... So about 98% of the day. I'll see if it helps being on 3g all day
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
ok download the app and check it out you can turn wifi on and off just by situations.The customization is ridiculous

Edit: I advise any noob or anyone that has had issues with battery life or just always wanted to tweak their phone in a certain way to give it a shot... Its free for crying out loud.... LOL

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Hero_Guy:
Is a flashable zip being made to bring back the stock ICS app switcher? The one where all recently used apps are in a vertical scroll instead. I prefer that one over horizontal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
@tdunham

I was just curious are you guys going to try and address the main wifi + battery issues that a lot of people are reporting in the next release?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mdsevol:
You have to realize they aren't just gonna ignore certain bugs. If they can fix them they will, they are obviously more than aware of them considering how many people have posted about it. If they can't fix them then so be it but asking if they are working on it will do no more good then waiting patiently.

Translated via "sn0wWH1TE" ET4G
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Thank you tdunham I appreciate it. And it wasnt an impatient ****ing question. I am considering cracking open the kernel and investigating it myself but this takes a ton of time and work. And if another team is already on it then I dont need to exhaust such a huge effort. So dont respond to questions that aren't addressed to you. Thats even more rude.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mdsevol:
I'll end this conversation with this...xda wasnt built around people taking turns dev'ing. If you can do it then do it, there is no doubt its a large under taking and there can be more than one person or team working on it. Didn't mean to be rude ;)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rsol0328:
Does anyone know if you can flash the Vlingo we had from before or does it have to be for ICS? Thanks in Advance.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boborone:
You weren't being rude at all. Brush your shoulders off and go on enjoying your day.

Sent from your phone you lost the game.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You can try.. or you can also download the current version from the market.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
I believe you meant "I CBA"... which means you would rather someone else do the work for you. Sorry but you are the one being rude. If someone can answer a question being asked, then they should. XDA is about development as well as collaboration - and for every collaboration there are those who need to help answer questions. So it would seem things are functioning correctly - except for your rudeness.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
Wow you get flamed these days for pretty much asking any type of questions. Its cause of this crap that makes me very reluctant to share any of my work with such twits.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jerdog:
It's not the question, but the attitude that comes along with it. Saying you thought about doing the work yourself but you CBA and would rather have someone else do the work for you - yeah... you're going to get some abuse.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] peanut1596:
Hey now, y'all are both pretty. Back to the topic?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cas8180:
No Jerdog that wasnt the point.

Let me break it down for you guys since I may be one of the very few actual developers in here as opposed to the vast amounts of script kiddies. When people are working on the same project in the REAL WORLD it makes no sense at all to duplicate effort when one dev or team of devs is already focused on that particular component or even problem. Instead it is more common to partition resources to work and build other components or enhance other modules of a project. I know I know what a radical concept. I trust the work that PH and tdunham do they are good at what they do I PH's ROM as my daily driver. The whole purpose of my question was to see where the FOCUS was. If they are focusing as the issues I mentioned then I would have shifted my focus to work on the number of other issues users are reporting. Such exchange issues, LED issues, devices heating up, undervolting etc etc. Again it would not make sense for me to spend countless hours working on something that these guys are already doing the due diligence on. Communication is fundamental in a team collaboration. But I guess you guys dont grasp that concept since you pretty much get flamed for asking any question in here that relates to status of a project.

Just imagine how fast we could turn out solutions and enhancements as well as new functionality if we all worked together and took ownership of specific modules or features. But like I said this concept probably doesnt make sense to people that arent in this field.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
okay so after running agats 0.2.1 kernel and setting the gov to smartassV2 all day, I'm still seeing almost the same battery drain. Yesterday I got about 2 hours of screen time and now I'm at 2 hrs and 45mins of screen time with 6% battery left. I didn't notice a battery drain difference with running 3g vs WiFi. I tested them out for 3 hours each.

One thing I did notice with the smartassV2 gov was that the time in state graph in setcpu was mostly spent in the 200, 500, 800 mhz range. 1.2ghz was much less than when I was on the stock kernel with this Rom

I'll run this set up until the end of the week and see if it improves.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DEF3NDER:
How is the rom running with that kernel apart from battery life? Any noticeable difference?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mdsevol:
I am running the same kernel. I cant say that I notice any difference. But I never had battery issues to begin with, I mean the battery life isnt GREAT but it lasts my entire work day with moderate to heavy use. Wifi and 4g combined...IDK, I would like to see some killer custom kernels for this though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rsol0328:
Flashing the zip file worked! Thanks TD!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Shift Sunny:
Are there any kernels that phantom himself approves of using? I had issues with kernels when blazer went over to ICS and don't want to deal with that nonsense again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PhAkEer:
I heard there are some newer new kernels now =)

New governors and readahead baked in =)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PCap79:
Can somebody point me to the download link for v4.1 please? I clicked on the link in the 1st post but it keeps redirecting me to other pages and then ultimately gives me an error screen that the page doesn't exist.

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rksand:
Check your PM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qxlooper:
do i flash the agt kernel first then the rom or rom first then the kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Typically a rom always comes with it's own kernel.

Flash the rom, then the kernel.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PCap79:
Another Blazer noob question...

I've always used SetCPU along with all the other ROMs I've installed on my phone. I've been on UnNamed 2.0 for a while now so I haven't been keeping up with new(er) stuff on the forum. I just noticed some people are using Tegrak now instead of SetCPU. Is it any better than SetCPU? Do I just download this from the app store also?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oldpreowner:
I tried to install by disabling the battery percentage then wiped cache then dalvik cache then flashed zip. I didn't get the big battery but it removed the top bar all together lol. Does this still work? I'm on agats 2.1 and phantoms 1.3.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boborone:
Would it be cool if a mod added this to the OP?

Sent from your phone you lost the game.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Iczer:
Back to 4.1 I go
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Thanks for this. I think something else is breaking it. I am going to remove it for now because of the pending update anyway and will repost it when things settle down. I fixed the battery display btw. It will be included in the update. Did you flash the stock systemui.apk I posted there to get everything back to normal?

The larger battery will still be a seperate mod. Tnx - TD

Addendum: Links page and mod post have been updated as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bryan666:
I am a huge fan of all Phantom roms! I'm now on latest ics. My issue is every few phone calls I cannot hear anything. I have to hang up and redial.

It happens incoming and outgoing.

Can anyone help? Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SSaxman:
Can somebody make a test phone call and see if the DTMF tones sound correct when tapping number keys during the call? Mine are correct when dialing the call, but while on a call the keypad produces the same generic, non-DTMF sound for each key press. TIA!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteZero:
Having wifi on today has totally killed my battery. Never been this bad. Wasn't even this bad for the first few days using this ROM.

I can't seem to catch a break with Wifi related issues on this ROM... :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PCap79:
I tried downloading and installing v4.1 from the link on the previous page, but when I go to install it through CWM i get an error saying it can't open the file and the file is bad. Don't think I'm doing anything wrong bc I tried installing it the same way I install all my other ROMs. Is this happening to anyone else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boborone:
Try dl'ing again. Might be a bad dl. On that note, td, mind posting a checksum of the official so we know we have it right? Would be extremely useful in situations where people post bugs. Can ask if they have the correct file downloaded properly.

So, I had to go back to 4.1

I keep getting system update available reminders

How do I stop them.

If it was already answered ..sorry. I did look
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] steve97ta:
You can freeze the rom updater in titanium. Known issue bro
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SSaxman:
Freeze System Updates with TB. Just know that you will have to unfreeze it to update profile or PRL.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nelzp0929:
The ROM updater is tied into Profile and PRL updater?? Damn thing was annoying and you can't freeze an app unless you have the pro version on TB. I deleted the damn thing instead.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boborone:
Why not buy it? :confused: Let's you do batch operation and auto uploading to dropbox and other clouds. Plus it supports a good dev.

Sent from your phone you lost the game.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SSaxman:
bryan666 is on Blazer 4.1 (GB) and is wanting to stop the OTA FF18 update notifications. Freezing System Updates will stop these notifications.

The ROM update notifications in Blazer 0.1.3 (ICS) is a separate app called Update Me Smartphone. This can bee frozen in TB as well to stop the ROM update notifications in 0.1.3.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Raistlin1:
+1 Just buy TB, it is so worth it and nothing wrong with supporting the devs.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] PCap79:
I tried downloading it three times
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] THEGUYRock:
Downloaded again, full wipe, flashed ROM. Ran fine all day yesterday, today, constant boot loops again. Any ideas?

I really want this to work because battery life is actually a lot better than on the last blazer for me.

Also after flashing can I restore app data from my GB Rom without any issues? That's how I used to do it, just not sure if that is OK to do on ICS .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] s9amme:
I was on Blazer v4.1, did a backup of my apps. Flashed the blazer ICS rom, and restored the apps back. I didn't run into any issues I can think of. Just make sure you don't restore system stuff. If you run into problems with titanium backup freezing up on ICS, you'll need to unmount the external SD card... restore your apps... then mount the external SD card again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Also, when batch restoring apps, try to restore the app only not the data. Only restore data when absolutely necessary and do it after the app(s) have already been restored. Additionally, just restore what is absolutely necessary at first. If you have 200 apps and try to restore them all at the same time... well, that's just asking for problems.

It's always a good practice to have a current backup of your rom, even if it is a fresh install before doing a binge restore of all your apps.

Backup often is my motto. ;)

Newbie Hint: Always go into the clockworkmod folder and add a name to the end of all your backups as you make them (remember, NO spaces allowed) so you remember what they belong to.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boborone:

Sorry but I'm so sick of noobs saying CWM bricks. It's good to see someone like you using it.

Sent from your phone you lost the game.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
The Agat kernel CWM recovery that comes with this rom is safe to use to make backups and restore those backups. (It does do more than that but why tempt fate)

The NEW Agat kernels built from source are safe to do everything, wipe, backup, restore, even flash back to or restore a Gingerbread build! Good stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dragonOL2:
This is really great and helpful info. Thanks for this quick explanation... This question keeps coming up again and again (referring to the 1.13-or-whatever-it-is update on the ICS ROM) and i wish people would take the time to read a few pages back in the thread beforehand...

Not being a Scrooge but just sayin... It pays to do a quick look-see to check if anyone else has had the same problem before asking about it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nelzp0929:
Oh, ok. That makes more sense to me. I thought i ruined something by deleting Update me Smartphone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nelzp0929:
Ya, i agree, but I hardly use it. Only when changing to a new ROM....and i like this ROM a lot so i don't think I'll be switching anytime soon.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] prnorm:
I think this has been mentioned already in this thread, but instead of freezing the app using Titanium, just open the Update me Smartphone app and check "disable rom auto checks."
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dragonOL2:
On another note, anyone else constantly confused by the seemingly random switches / placement of the "ok" button and the "cancel" button? I'm constantly thrown off because they frequently flip flop positions here on ICS...

Or am i just an idiot? :confused: :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mlee0921:
i'm having problems with the phone getting hot after 5 minutes of use.

also, the phone buzzes when the camera app is opened. i have to close it and open it 2-3 times before the buzzing goes away, or i have to wait for it to go off on its own.

anyone else with these problems?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] azntiger:
Any suggestions to make adblock work? I've tried Rom Toolbox lite, Adfree, and Ad Away. I've used them separately and all together. Every app like Scramble with Friend, Angry Birds, and Friendscaster, all still have their ads.

Ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Capp5050:
+1 (same here) on both. I get the buzz as well as a wavy/blurry screen on the camera.

Not that it's ideal, but I've found that if I snap a picture while the camera is buzzing/screen blurry, it seems to 'reset' itself right away.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
You are rooted rigth? And you did download the latest AdAway hosts and apply them and reboot right? I've got zero adds in any application that would normaly Agry Birds etc.

What kernel are you using? I've been using Agat and Chris41g's kernels (on ICS) since he started building them. And Rogue's on GB ROMs. Using Blazer ICS with Agat's latest kernel 2.3 [ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1767421 ] right now and just checked again - no adds. AND the performance if freaking great!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kiswa:
As a developer, I'm torn on this issue.

I'm not a fan of ads myself, but what's wrong with just buying the ad-free version of apps you like and use often? And if you don't want to pay for the app, then why not let the developer get a few cents from your ad impressions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rksand:
On the GS2 Blazer ROM the built in clock widget would open the app when tapped. This one opens preferences. I can't find a way to change that. I even tried installing the clock app extracted from phantoms GS2 Blazer ICS ROM with ROM toolbox pro, but it fails to install. I liked the quick access to the timer, stopwatch, etc.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boborone:
Are you trying to install the new one over the old one, or did you uninstall the old first?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rksand:
New one over old. It warned I was replacing a system file and asked permission.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I'm not sure which clock widget you're using but the one that comes on the desktop stock I believe is the digital clock. It has ICS blue day of week/date to the right of the time. If I click on it, it displays everthing just fine,
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rksand:
That's the one, and I just realized I posted in the GS2, not GS3 forum. Sorry, my bad. But that is the clock I want on my GS3.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] benthe1:
You should flash ff18

Sent from my Epic Touch(GSII)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kanekz:
Baseband version is the modem that you're currently running. You have to flash that separately. There is a modem repository thread that is stickied in this development section if you want to change it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qxlooper:
Thanks! I thought so.

Any idea on the mail issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Extended toggles are in the works. Can't help with the lockscreen, I do not use those apps.

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

Can you post a screenshot? Stock email is so severely lacking I don't see how anyone can use it anyway. You should try a third party app like K-9 or there are plenty more to choose from.

On another note, I did try searching, but couldn't find an answer.

i try to use swype or any other input message and I get error 'open of EnglishUS Failed!'
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Try settings/applications, all, swype (and then email), clear data, clear cache if they're highlighted.

That will wipe out your email accounts too and you'll have to re-enter them but its not working properly right now anyway.

Did you just flash this? Maybe full wipe and reflash the entire rom if none of that works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qxlooper:
I will try reflashing, with a full wipe now, neither of those worked!
